No it's not acceptable actually. It's supposed to be bending words to create a picture with a poignant message. It just looks fucking stupid when you have to two spelling mistakes to fit in a word that isn't even a real word.

Alright, I'm ruining the joke about it being fake...its an XKCD joke talking about how its fun to say that things in real life are photoshoped i.e if someone was holding a lamp you say, "yeah thats totally photoshoped, the reflections are all wrong."

best thread evar (can I start an interweb acronym: BTE?).Note: sometimes things in rl seem photosho[o?]ped but really aren't. I think this is not one of those cases. I think I saw a tutorial on this somehwere, but I don't know where he got his source images. Definitely fake though.

ok seriously read the fucking text it says you can make pictures with words they are words shaped into faces do you honestly care that they are photo shopped or frickin illustrator? for real people use the little brains that god gave you, you might be surprised.

"Go get a girlfriend or something, seriously. There are better things to be doing with your life if you're not here for the artwork."

so anyone that uses the internet and continues a (ill admit) quite lame joke does not as a rule have a girlfriend. now what you've just said is disrespectful to everyone that commented so stop being a fucking hypocrite and spouting shitty arguments fool.

Alright, I happen to BE the girlfriend of someone who reads 4chan, XKCD, etc. I also do these things. I also have a life...consisting of a double major in college and two jobs. I also appreciate the photos on this page. So please keep your generalizations as just that: generalizations...which are GENERALLY best kept to yourself. Don't attempt to apply them to everyone who comments.

*sigh*

Rhazerri...people AREN'T really saying it is fake. BECAUSE it is not a real image, they are using IRONY by calling it Photoshopped...a long-running internet joke.

For the rest of you, who DO understand the humor...I leave you with an XKCD quote that this entire thread brings to mind...

"Challenge: Post a YouTube comment so stupid that people know it's a joke. Hint: It's not possible."

As for the artwork, I enjoy it, sans the misspelling of "tyranny," because I happen to agree that it takes away from the work (and the message) when the word is blatantly inaccurate. Other than that...cheers.

Adam, dear sir, I disagree...girlfriends are for guys who like to download porn to watch with their partner. Because that's what you get with internet savvy couples.

Emily...what exactly are you going on about? Did anyone SAY that a font just made this? And it MIGHT have the potential to be brilliant, but the fact that the word "tyranny" is misspelled keeps it from being that.

Cant we all just get along and no im not shooped photoshopped illustrated fake rickrolled thick brainless or btmed whatever the fuck that is. you guys could have made a sandwich in the time it took you to argue about nothing. have a good one ^_^

The artwork was really good except for the spelling error it is TYRANNY. Comment 21 -"spelt" is spelled "spelled." The comments were just as interesting, if not more than the actual artwork. It is always fun to listen to people argue over something that doesn't matter, and that is a joke that half the people don't get.

You fuckers its supposed to be photoshopped its not supposed to be their real face idiots. I mean what the fuck who wouldn't think this is photoshop. You motherfuckers are the dumbest people who hav ever attempted to know what their talking about

WHAT IS UR PROBLEMS? UR ALL SO DUMB ITS NOT EVEN REAL ANYMORE. THIS IS CLEARLY A REAL PIECE OF ARTWORK, NOT FAKE AT ALL. YOU SHOULD ALL JUST SHUT UP AND ENJOY THIS ART FOR WHAT IT IS, ART. PHOTOSHOP COULDN'T HAVE DONE ANYTHING FOR THIS PIC. GODDAMN YOU GUYS ARE DUMB!!!!!!

To all the people who are saying 'fake', SHUT UP. Of COURSE it is fake, it's not like anyone ACTUALLY has a face made out of words! Duh.. Some people can just completly miss the point of stuff sometimes. These aren't supposed to look real, they are supposed to look cool! its sad that people cant even figure that out. it just goes to show that people are stupid.

You have to be a complete moron to think these are real. They are obvious fakes, and not even very good ones. "Oh yeah, these are totally real, WAIT A MINUTE! My Pixel detector is tingling! These are FAKE!!!"

as Misty sed, this is either real or the best ps job i have ever seen i should no iv been in teh art bisness for a relly long time and even i couldnt ps something this well so their def not fake no matter WHAT THE FUCK you "anonynmous" ppl SAY.

Loved the thread. However, "spelt" IS a word and can be interchanged with "spelled". Either is now an acceptable form. Not to mention that you could use a new dictionary to look it up or dictionary.com even.

These are definitely fake. I have seen better photoshops done for sasquatch.

this looks like a fake, you can see the missing reflexions, the wrong shadows and have a closer look on great bin laden; there's such a big ear that "dumbo the elefant" must be kind of pissed cause he hasent got that big ones dudes.

this, people, is fake! do not trust the internet! peaple r made outta brains and sperms, there are no letters!

ok are u guys freakin stupid what on earth are u talking about "its fake" or its "photoshopped" what the heck these pics were put up to show that u could write two words and make a face of course the people dont have actual words for there faces it was COMPUTER GENERATED to make a STATEMENT? i swear people in this world get stupider and stupider =[

haha people we really need to find something better to do with our time... And who was the original idiot who thought that there were people walking around with words for faces? I mean, come on. Be serious.

I am a proffesional photographer working for national geographic, and I can see whether or not these pics are fake. Well, they are definitly real, judging from details in the lighting that is practically impossible to simulate in photoshop.

However, judging from the color hue one might suspect that the balance has been slightly altered to make it seem brighter and fresher. I think this is acceptable, it is common practice in the business.

omg, u guys. it's not supposed to be a photograph, and yes he did make it on photoshop. BUT, just because he made it on photoshop doesn't make it a fake. You can make art virtually, i've done it.

Those of you that bring up lighting, reflections, and shadow, wtf r u talking about? the picture has two colors: yellow and black.

This isn't supposed to be realistic at all, this is art, abstract art. He's just trying to show that that you can morph words to look like peoples heads. He's not trying to recreate peoples heads, just make pictures that look SIMILAR to them.

I can't tell weather or not the joke is that "its fake" (laughing at all the people who don't get the original joke) or if the joke is now that "of course it's fake you IDIOT!!" (laughing at all the people still making the "fake" joke) lol!

anonymous said its a fakeso i said you're fake and he said that joke is a fakeanonymous obviously doesn't get a joke so now we are both stuck in a paradoxical loop where he isn't smart enough to get it and I am not smart enough to drop itin the end i had to stab him. But the noob just said the knife was fake and now is in limbo with a fake life.I hope that is more than enough fake jokes anyone can bear.

We call people like the ones in this comment section (intertards) people sitting there playing on a comp drooling and shitting in their diapers while they spew FAKE,STAGED,PHOTOSHOPPED! just remember INTERTARDS!

What the hell. I am not sure what I just read. The pics are fake, so are the comments. Half of them are posted by the same person. It makes it seem like this is popular. I read this and felt my IQ dropping.

Obviously the people who are saying that the people who are saying fake are dumbasses, are themselves the dumbasses. ITS A GOD DAMN JOKE! GOD YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID. Whoever started the "fake" thing is by far the smartest person here. And no. ANONYMOUS IS NOT ONE PERSON! ITS ANYBODY WHO CHOOSES THE COMMENT PROFILE AS ANONYMOUS! GAAAAHHHHHHHH ANGER11!!!!11!!!!!!!!IOUKQVE

...and to think this all started with one little "FAKE"!I think we have may have found the solution to the energy crisis:Forget perpetual motion machines: we just need to figure out how to harness the power of moronic keystrokes!
